#90 Mass Maritime Academy Light Tower

Project Info:
Set on a peninsula near Cape Cod, the Massachusetts Maritime Academy has a long and storied connection to the ocean. To celebrate that bond, the main staircase of their new library is wrapped around a “light core” which serves not only as the light source for the stair but also as a beacon to those entering the academy on the main drive. The words, integrated with the Mercator projection, represent the complete text of Nathaniel Philbrick’s award winning novel “in the Heart of the Sea”.

Fantastic! It looks beautifully executed and an extremely appropriate installation for a maritime academy.

Really wonderful use of the panel, with a narrative component, and a great application as a light box. How cool.
